Chapter 73 Childhood Friends

Childhood Friends

Kiik~

With the key I got from Hana-san, I entered Itsumi house.

…Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve been in the house since that affair.

Compared to that time, there weren’t many things here…and it might be a little dusty. When Hana-san lived here, she would’ve cleaned the house every day, but since she hasn’t done anything related to this house for a while, it’s already starting to get dirty.

They say that a building without people will be damaged sooner, and I guess that’s what happened.

And Takeshi, left in such a house, seems a little irritated.

“Mom, are you finally home? Why are you so late? I’m hungry. I want to eat something…huh?”

He came down from his room on the second floor, grumbling about something…then he looked at me with a frown suspiciously.

“Why the hell are you here?”

“…Why do you think?”

Right now, Takeshi and I are alone.

As we discussed before, Hana-san and Ichika won’t be coming to this house for a while. So this conversation will not be heard.

Maybe it was because I knew that…I felt strangely relaxed.

I was very careful when I talked to them.

But now I can say whatever I want.

I can complain, curse, and say whatever I want without hesitation.

I’m not afraid or nervous of Takeshi, I guess.

In fact, I probably pay more attention when I’m in front of Hana-san and Ichika.

“Huh? I’m the one asking the question. Answer properly.”

“Hey, hey, hey, calm down. Why are you so upset? If something’s wrong, just tell me. Look, you and I are childhood friends, right?”

Yes. We don’t have to worry about each other because we had a rotten relationship since we were little. We can be natural, free, and selfish.

Well, that’s just until…today, I guess.

“Okay, come on. If you don’t want to get hit again, tell me.”

“Wow, don’t be violent, okay? You’re stronger than me, give me a break. We’ve known each other since we were kids, right? We’re best friends, right?”

“…Noisy!”

Is it because I smile at you?

Or is it because you don’t like the fact that I played around a bit?

Takeshi clenched his fist as if to say, don’t play with me. I guess he wants to hit me like he did a few days ago.

But it’s too early.

I don’t mind if you hit me, but you’ll have to wait a little later.

I have something to tell you.

“Sigh…You slept with my girlfriend, so…could you be a little more considerate?”

“——?!”

With those words, Takeshi stopped moving.

His eyes widened as he looked at me with his fists still raised.

“What are you talking about?”

But somehow he tried to play dumb.

It was so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Ha-ha-ha. Do you realize that the fact that you’re trying to play dumb means that you’ve done something bad? It’s too late for that now.”

It’s ridiculous.

You don’t have to hide it.

Even if someone like-Takumi finds out, you don’t care, right?

“…I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

But Takeshi would never admit that.

Come to think of it, this guy’s always been like that. He never admits that he was wrong, as if he had some kind of disease that would kill him if he admits that he was wrong.

“…How could I ever sleep with Kaori? I mean, I’d be the worst kind of sc🬀🬀🬀ag to cheat on with my childhood friend’s girlfriend, right?”

How dare he say such a thing?

…Of course, I knew this would happen, and I was not unprepared too.

“Then what is this video, I wonder?”

What I showed him was the scene of Takeshi and Kaori’s sumo act.

It was taken when they were cheating in this house.

This is the smoking gun.

“…”

You see, Takeshi couldn’t say anything.

He is at a loss for words because I made the first move.

I knew he would lie.

Because unfortunately…I’m this guy’s “childhood friend”——
